The freedom to own a CMS (Content Management System) Website with no proprietary licence fees, design restrictions, and no limits to the functionality we can build in.

mwa Digital builds open source content managed Websites using the Drupal framework.

We just love Drupal – our client collaboration Intranet runs on Drupal, our project management system runs on Drupal, and we have some really exiting client sites built by our Drupal experts.

Our solutions are tailored to the specific needs of your organisation and we have delivered successful projects for owner managed start-ups right through to £25m t/o multi-nationals.

Every project follows a successful formula based on the following progression:

Market Research & Keyword Strategy

We learn about your business, your market and your competition. We have hands on experience in virtually every sector but where we don’t, we learn quickly.

Keyword research gives us clues to the language your industry uses, provides a direction for navigation hierarchy and organisation of Website content, and a foundation for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

Rapid Prototyping & Wireframe Development

Agreeing page layouts and key areas of functionality before development starts saves potentially costly change requests later down the line.

mwa Digital uses advanced software to create wireframes in next to no time. In fact, we can roll out a wireframe for a 100-page Website in 2 or 3 days. Edits can be made on the fly, even during project review conference calls.

Creative Design

Online image is widely proven to be mission critical. Strong creative design and identity can:

• Differentiate you from your competition
• Instil a sense of trust, integrity and reputation in your business
• Provide a benchmark to the quality of products and services you offer

We have an established reputation for producing high quality creative and Drupal Theming. You can see the results in the Our Work section.

Our clients are confident of making the right impact whether it's through Google Preview, as a result of a Home Page visit, or as a direct result of a keyword based Google search and click through. 

CSS

Unlike templates which make page designs fit a pre-formatted theme, CSS creation from mwa Digital is designed specifically to meet the branding, ID and design style our clients’ require.

Our Drupal Theming expertise produces free flowing crisp, clean, pixel perfect page layouts that are standards compliant, fast loading and Google friendly.

Drupal Development

We are in our element when working with Drupal. Many of the features that make our clients’ Websites appealing to their customers and easy to administer have been developed as custom extensions.

Modules such as secure Client Areas, Companies & Contacts, Email Auto Responders Management, Blog Comment Moderation and Xpress one-page commerce checkout for Ubercart all help improve the User experience and make content management a faster more streamlined exercise.

Project Management

It won’t surprise you to learn that our Open Atrium Intranet client collaboration system is built using Drupal.

MYmwa is a client collaboration Intranet where we manage communication throughout the development of a project.

We set a group of contacts up for each project representing stakeholders and contributors. Access is by secure Login and Users engage in Case Trackers, Task Management, Blog Communication and Libraries of resource material.

The entire record of every member’s communication and resource contribution is saved in a single location for ease of management.

Technical Support

It’s a great feeling owning a content managed Website and our Technical Support gives you the peace of mind that a wide range of technical issues are being looked after.

We provide a range of support options to cover the following eventualities:

• On demand support for using the Drupal admin CMS
• Features version upgrades
• Development of new features to achieve specific objectives
• Upgrade of the core code as and when a new release becomes available
• Upgrade existing custom modules to work seamlessly with the latest Drupal core version
• Security updates and patches

Portability

It’s your Website so you are free to migrate it whenever you want.

Our Technical Support service means your content managed Drupal Website is always up to date and whenever we extend any community modules, we always make sure our development is soundly organised so it can be picked up and modified by a third party development team if required. 

Some of Drupal's Main Features

It can serve to simply allow you to update page content, or, you can manage databases of companies, customers and orders as well as personaly administer your products, pages’ meta information for search engines, manage the structure of the site, languages, Blogs and much much more.

Open Source Code For Flexibility

We are highly skilled in getting the very best out of Open Source content programs such as Drupal for Content Management and Magento for E-commerce Web Design.

This means your development code can be supported by a global network of thousands of professional developers rather than proprietary code tying you permanently into the developing agency.

By further developing the standard features offered by Open Source code we can provide all the benefits of a dedicated proprietary system at a fraction of the cost of a ground up build.
